C298 victor (1/2)

”Did little girl Han Lian meet Seventh Princess?” The empress dowager was also surprised as she asked. His tone was calm and collected. It was obvious that he was very dependent on this Han Lian.

The Heaven Gate disciple really did have some tricks up his sleeve. He was able to get the young master of the Nalan Clan to agree to enter the Heaven Gate within a short period of time, and even hide it from his family. Now she could make the Empress Dowager rely on her so much in such a short time.

It was impossible for the Heaven Gate to coexist with the royal family. Therefore, if this Han Lian was truly from the Heaven Gate, then it would be impossible for her to reveal her identity. Under such circumstances, to have such a method, it was naturally admirable.

When the white-clothed woman heard the empress dowager's question, she shook her head and said, ”In reply to Your Highness, this servant has never seen Seventh Princess before. It's just that I thought she looked kind with one glance.”

”I presume it's because this servant likes the appearance of the princess consort.”

Hearing this, the empress dowager nodded in relief. ”Since that's the case, then are you willing to play a match with Seventh Imperial Concubine?”

”I couldn't ask for more.” As Han Lian spoke, her gaze landed on Mu Ru Yue as though she was provoking her.

Mu Ru Yue looked at the girl as well.

”Esteemed wangfei, please show mercy and allow this little girl a bit. ”This little girl is by the empress dowager's side. Naturally, she wants to win and make esteemed empress dowager happy.” As the woman spoke, someone brought up the chessboard.

Mu Ru Yue looked at the chessboard and replied coldly, ”It's a pity that there's only victory and defeat on the chessboard. As for me, I'm very concerned about winning or losing. ”Therefore, let's rely on our ability.” As Mu Ru Yue spoke, she sat down.

Han Lian also sat down, just like her. However, when she picked up the chess piece, she said: ”Sometimes, too much emphasis is placed on winning or losing, and you will only end up with a crushing defeat.”

”But if they don't even care about the outcome, wouldn't they be deprived of the opportunity to fight for it? If we don't compete, how can we be fortunate? ” Mu Ru Yue took up the chessboard without any hesitation.

The two of them dropped the chess pieces at the same time. The two chess pieces in Mu Ru Yue's hand landed in the center of the room.

He pushed the woman's chess piece to the side.

In the Falling Moon Empire, if one was not sure if they should start first with a chess game, the rules dictated that each person should play two chess pieces. Whoever played the chess piece in the middle would start with the first move.

”It looks like I won.” Mu Ru Yue smiled.

”Princess, please make the first move.” The woman said.

Mu Ru Yue picked up the two chess pieces and said calmly, ”Although I don't agree with what you have to say, I like to play behind the scenes.”

”May I know?” The woman asked curiously.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she smiled. ”That's because only by doing this can we make the opponent wholeheartedly submit to us.”

”Arrogant.” The two words came out of the woman's mouth. Then he placed Bai Zi in the middle. Mu Ru Yue followed him calmly.

”If one is determined to win or lose, one should not retreat. ”The wangfei won, but then gave in. In Han Lian's opinion, this is an act that doesn't deserve to be played.” The woman's cold voice rang out again.

Mu Ru Yue didn't get angry. ”I'll say that after you win. It won't be too late.”

The two of them exchanged words. Both of them wanted to gain the upper hand in front of the other. However, they were unable to gain anything from each other.

Very quickly, the chess board was filled with chess pieces. However, this chess piece was frozen in place. That was because she was not allowed to move, and the woman in front of her was the same.

Until now, it was still the first time that Mu Ru Yue had seen a battle of attrition. What she liked more was a perfect victory.

The way this woman played chess was too bizarre.

The chess piece had already fallen into a state of anxiety. However, compared to Mu Ru Yue's calmness, this cold woman frowned.

She thought about what Mu Ru Yue had just said.

Do I have to convince others of my defeat? Han Lian stared at the chessboard in front of him. After a long while, he slowly rose to his feet and spoke to the empress dowager. ”Esteemed empress dowager, Han Lian was incompetent and failed to win.” Seventh Princess' chess skills were indeed outstanding. This servant has already tried her best.
